New Super Luigi U is a two-dimensional platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The game was released in 2013 in North America, Europe, and Japan. It is part of the Super Mario series and is a supplement to the game New Super Mario Bros. U.
The game is set in the Kingdom of Champignon, where Luigi and his friends must rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. Luigi can jump higher and slide longer than Mario, helping him overcome difficult challenges.
In New Super Luigi U, players control Luigi in 82 new levels, designed to be more difficult than the levels in New Super Mario Bros. U. Luigi can jump higher and slide longer than Mario, but he also moves slower and is more vulnerable.
New Super Luigi U was positively reviewed by critics, with praise for its level of design, difficulty, and humor. The game has sold more than 9 million copies worldwide, making it the Wii U’s tenth best-selling game.
